Battle Royal.

Meet The North Texas Women Who'll Compete To Marry A Fake Prince Harry This Summer.

If you've even had your television dials tuned to FOX for just a minute in recent weeks, chances are you've seen the promos for the channel's forthcoming I Wanna Marry “Harry” program, in which 12 American women are flown across the pond and pitted against one another all Bachelor-style for the chance to marry Prince Harry — except, no, it's not really him, it's just a guy who kinda looks like him.

And, no surprise here, it features some North Texans! Because every single reality show in the world does!

Yes, it looks impossibly stupid. Redneck Heaven stupid? Kinda! Although, granted, at least the producers seem in on the joke this time around.

Whether the contestants are in on it is less obvious.

Yes, this is the epitome of a wait-and-see. All the same, let's go ahead and meet the two North Texans — plus a bonus Texan from the not-too-distant Longview — that FOX will try to dupe this summer anyway.
